The Funky Knitted Hat

This hat has done the rounds. Well…. the general pattern of this hat gets re-vamped and changed every time I knit it. But I also thought it time to share the pattern.

The colours can of course be changed. It does include braided cables, so is a little more challenging than some hat designs.

Size:

Small adult head – or teen.

Gauge:

Not too tight. It’s really hard doing cables with tight knitting.

Materials Needed:

1 ball rainbow
1 ball orange
1 ball purple
4mm needles
5.5mm needles

Notes:

This hat is for a small head. For a larger head you will need more stitches…. I recommend 80 for a regular sized adult head, or 90 for a large head or one with a lot of hair. This pattern would need altering in the cabled orange sections to change the size of the final product.

Directions:

Cast on 70 sts on 4mm needles.

Rib (k1, p1 to end) for 10 rows.

A row by row run down follows for the complete hat.
Where one instruction is given for a row, complete the entire row that way.
